That's not been my experience. I think a lot of people feel like it's lesser to call their dip a mayonnaise, so they call it an aioli. Especially at restaurants.

    Sure, but that's just the restaurant trying to sound fancier than they are, they know it's not aioli. It's like when they say they have wasabi but bring you a paste, there's no debate that wasabi is a root but that most restaurants will serve you a green paste that has 0% wasabi in it. Which is why places that serve real wasabi or aioli usually have it listed as "real wasabi" or "real aioli", both to clarify they're using the correct term and not the popular one and to warn people as both aioli and wasabi taste different from the mass produced garlic mayo and mustard paste restaurants usually serve.
